iFixit Plans Live iPhone Disassembly Event
iFixIt Website ^ | 6/29/07 | iFixIt

Posted on 06/28/2007 2:42:26 PM PDT by Yossarian

iFixit will be live blogging the disassembly of an iPhone immediately after its release tomorrow, June 29. We will stream live images and descriptions of the disassembly as we go. Our technicians will also be analyzing the internals and posting component descriptions and design analysis.

To be notified as soon as we begin disassembly, sign up here: (http://iFixit.com/Guide/iPhone)

The live disassembly will also be posted at that address. "We're excited to see how Apple's engineers have crammed so much functionality into an iPod form factor," commented Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit. "We'll be posting professional images as fast as we can take them, as well as writing disassembly instructions. We're using the same AJAX technology to publish this live guide as we use in our web store."

iFixit will also release a complete Fixit Guide for the iPhone next week. This Guide will complement our existing line of Mac and iPod Guides, which show the reader how to easily access and replace any component in their machine.

Meanwhile, al-Jazeera will run a crudely produced tape of an iPhone being sliced in half.

Early in the century (I just realized I love saying that), or perhaps in the late 1990s, Alan Kay (I think it was) talked in an interview about how the processing power in cell phones was more than what was available to early PCs, and that the phones could be made to do much more than they were doing.

Thanks for giving us those hundred billion different annoying ring tones, AK. ;’)

About an hour ago they had a live report on people planning to buy the iPhones.

The Fox reporter was interviewing one of the four people who already had one, and was showing it, some git ran up to the them, grabbed what he thought was the iphone, (it actually was the Fox News microphone)He cussed at the reporter and began to run away.

A couple of bodyguards, threw the guy down on the cement. Not sure if he was actually trying to steal the iphone or just hated Fox News.
